  • Then you're finding it worthwhile to support a system that allows for you to merely tolerate it

  • We had something like this in our philosophy class.

  • That's not the question. The question is just if you find it to enable the kind of life you value. If your experience is that a system doesn't do this, don't support it. This isn't that complicated lol

  • Makes sense for me to interpret what OP said in that way because I find logic and reading comprehension worthwhile for life.

  • The "makes sense" in the op means that from the perspective of the doer, it makes sense. OP is not saying that it's "objectively beneficial to all humans".

    It's a description of how people make choices.

  • OP didn't say it was good or bad. Just that it makes sense for them because they thought it was what they like.

  • There's a difference between saying "I think X, and Here's Why: Proof" and "YOU SHOULD NEVER CONSUME X IT WILL KILL YOU"

  • Oh I do love a weird internet feel

  • That's a lot of logical fallacy from someone who claims to have been teaching philosophy.

    Moderating blatant misinformation or bomb-making instructions does not inevitably lead to censoring valid political dissent. There is also a significant functional difference between Abstract Ideas (Socrates’ questioning of virtue) and Instructional Violations (blueprints for violence).

    Equating moderating a privately run online space to making someone drink hemlock by the way of a state execution is a hell of a reach.

    You are basically claiming some forms of knowledge are too dangerous for people to know.

    Nope. Never said that. I said "You might not be persecuted for having these “theoretical” discussions, which is fine...".

  • I'm fine with civil discourse, even with some unsavory opinions. Not so fine with people spreading blatant misinformation and propaganda. There needs to be decent moderation for this, which as I understand, Odysee seems to fail at.

    As @dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone is pointing out, commitment to (absolute) free speech tends to attract Nazis. And by Nazis I mean, actual, literal Nazis, not just people who don't agree with me on soylent being a decent meal replacement.

    Also, lets never forget that (absolute) free speech would also cover allowing "theoretical" discussion on how to manipulate, groom and kidnap children for certain purposes etc. How to "theoretically" build bombs. How to "theoretically" drug and kill people etc. You might not be persecuted for having these "theoretical" discussions, which is fine but I think it's healthy for any online space to remove such topics.

  • Yeah whenever I see "crypto", I get a slight internal sigh/groan.

  • Whoever wants to include themselves in the "we" with me.

  • Bummer. I keep wanting a YT alternative but Peertube isn't quite there. Odysee at least looked polished but while I believe in civil discourse on any topic, complete lack of moderation isn't great.

    Good News to get you through March

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    How do we feel about Odysee?

  • what if people disagree with you about the borders? Would you tell the people on the sentinel islands that they should just let everyone enter? Should everyone be forced to comply with your American hard left ideals? Because that's the logical conclusion of saying "there SHOULD be no borders".

  • We do like them phalluses, and thicc, load bearing loins.

  • Reminder: Activism gets results. Doomscrolling keeps you right where the powers that be want you, passive, depressed, compliant, exhausted.

    Good News in February (you might have missed)

    Back in the day, one might have gotten news from friends or family, and they would've believed it. Now, many people hear whatever an algorithm decides makes most money for the service.
